Stay Tuned provides examples of:
- All Lesbians Want Kids: Vaggie expresses some issues in "Lost and Found" with the fact that, thanks to being a sinner, she's never going to be able to start a family with Charlie.
- Always Chaotic Evil: Averted. Yes, Hell is full of some of the worst scum from Earth, but there are still plenty of demons with morals lines they refuse to cross and even some native to Hell that are pretty nice.
- Berserk Button: A big one for Alastor: DON'T bring up his manner of death or his fear of dogs.
- A Birthday, Not a Break: Not exactly a birthday, per say, but Hell has "Death days", which is the day a person died and went down below. Because of either the traumatizing circumstances of their deaths or just the fact that they died, few demons celebrate these. Charlie tries to set up a celebration for Niffty's D-day, but she only wants to clean.
- Brooklyn Rage: Averted with Molly. She has a thick Noo Yawk accent like her brother (though more akin to Fran Drescher than Steve Buscemi), but she's actually pretty nice.
- Dark and Troubled Past: While many of the characters have at least one of these, Mimsy mentioning that when she was a child, her conversation with the others about her parents is heartbreaking, her mom was always drunk, and her father was killed at Pearl Harbor when she was still a child.
- Distaff Counterpart: Molly is basically a nicer, female version of her brother. She's just as flirty, but far more polite with others.
- The Dreaded: Valentino is a feared Overlord and one of the few demons that Angel Dust loses all bravado and confidence around.
- Evil-Detecting Dog: Zig-zagged. Jazz lashes out violently at anything that tries to threaten her, but she's weirdly attached to Alastor, despite him being an evil Overlord that makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her.
- Expy: Catrina Calavera is one of both La Llorona due to drowning her children in a fit of rage and Blue Diamond since her powers cause other sinners in her vicinity to cry uncontrollably.
- The Gadfly: Angel Dust really loves pushing Alastor's buttons. He deliberately names Jazz after Al's favorite style of music just to piss him off. He even comments that he could have named her "Allie" after Alastor.
- Gayngst: Vaggie was kicked out of her home for being a lesbian and was forced into prostitution to stay alive.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Played for Laughs. After Angel's sister arrives and he sees that there's now two Angels at the Hotel, Alastor skedaddles out of the room as fast as he can.
- Sick Episode: Crimson Breath revolves around Alastor recovering from the titular disease.
- Slice of Life: The stories are basically just short mini-episodes showing the day-to-day going ons of the Hazbins, with nothing ever getting too tense.
- Sorry to Interrupt: Alastor literally reverses out of the room when he sees Angel Dust and Molly. Even his radio static reverses.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Alastor may not lose his demeanor, but he's genuinely afraid of dogs because of his humiliating death on Earth (he was mauled to death by several dogs).
